EDTA stands for ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid. It is a manufactured amino acid. EDTA has been used for heavy metal poisoning, because it binds lead and mercury and allows it to excreted from the body.

It is also thought EDTA can bind calcium, which contributes to the build-up of plaque involved in atherosclerosis. Oral chelation therapy and intravenous chelation therapy are both available. Your views and experience are welcome in the post, thanks!

I had mercury poisoning for 3 years before having them drilled out. Then I did chelation therapy for a month and came out of it with the help of the chelated minerals. I know they worked. This was way way back in 1991. The mercury prevented my system from fully digesting proteins and then that caused many complications: stomach problems, muscle fatigue, intolerance to other foods, impotence and general ill feelings. A led to b which led to c which led to c-1, c-2 , c3 etc.
These days one can test hair for heavy metals.
